Guess Word, Download Pictures

---

As you read this the Guess word game is downloading the pictures that are needed for playing. When the nine boxes below are all filled with pictures, then click the above 'Back' button to return to the game. More notes below the pictures...

You are playing Guess Word on a network, the Internet, so it takes just a bit of time to download pictures. It is probably best to download them all at once. This will place the images in you Internet cache on your hard drive. Nothing special is happening here; most content that you see on the Internet is temporarily stored in your Internet cache. After being placed in the cache for the first time, the pictures can be rapidly retrieved as needed.

When all the above boxes are filled, the pictures have been downloaded into your cache.

As your cache fills up, the oldest of content will be removed as new content comes in. Therefore, it may be necessary in the future to again return to this page and download all the pictures again if game play slows down at first because they have been removed.

Of course, if you just go ahead and play the game without doing any of this, the pictures will eventually all download into your cache the first times you play. That will only make the first game or two a bit slow.
